Hi,

This setting can be changed in Group Policy. Open Run box, enter "gpedit.msc", then navigate to Local Computer Policy/Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/System. Now find in the right side "Turn off autoplay". Double click the entry. A new window will pop up, showing three settings: "Not configured" (this should be checked by default), Enabled (this will enable a combo that allows you to specify if autorun is disabled only on CD-ROM drives or for all drives) and Disabled.

I find this kind of confusing. You must 'Enable' the setting to 'Disable' autorun. Selecting 'Disabled' will Enable Autorun. Confusing, isn't it?

>Thank you.
